When it was getting dark, Yun Shang handed the map to Qian Liu. "I marked these places on the map. Send someone to check them. Be careful. These places are easy to defend and difficult to attack. If the eldest princess wants to hide the army in a hidden place, these are good choices. Do not alert the enemy."
Qian Liu said yes, curtsied and left. There was no news in the palace. Luo Qingyan spread a message that he might not return home tonight. Yun Shang didn't care much about it. She asked the messenger about the situation in the palace in detail.
"The empress ordered us to guard against the leak of the news and only tell the other concubines that his majesty is ill, and the imperial physician said that his majesty should have a good rest quietly. The other concubines are forbidden to disturb his majesty. Few people know what happened in the Yunqi Palace, because lady Yun seldom visited other ladies." The attendant answered Yun Shang's question in a low voice.
"How about those people from the court? Are they in the palace now?" Yun Shang asked peacefully, staring at the armrest of the chair.
The attendant answered quickly, "His Highness, the seventh prince, Field Marshal Su, Master of the court Liu, Lord Hua Guo, Mister Liu, they are in the palace right now. Other officials are not in the palace."
"Have you heard what they talked about today?" Yun Shang's hand paused when hearing his response. She thought that Liu Yinfeng had a special position in the state of Xia. In fact, he was neither a royal member nor an official of the court, but he could freely go to the court without permission, and Xia Huanyu didn't hide such an important thing from him. It was really a special favor that Liu
ang ordered in detail, "bring back the list of their ordinary goods and today's items to me."
Qian Zhuo said yes, stood beside Yun Shang for a while. When she saw that Yun Shang didn't have other orders, she left the study.
Yun Shang stayed in the study until midnight and went to bed. The next day, she got up very early. As soon as she got up, she heard Qian Liu saying, "Your Highness got up early today and the news got out. In the city, it was rumored that his majesty had an accident. It was said that his majesty hadn't gone to the court for two consecutive days and several ministers had entered the palace yesterday. Since they didn't come out again, they are afraid that something bad has happened to his majesty. "
Yun Shang nodded her head and sighed. "Who told them? It must be the eldest princess. Seducing people is her first step."
"How long has the rumors been spread?" Yun Shang wore only a night robe. She walked to the window and opened it. It was dark outside, so it was early in the morning. It was the time when people got up and went shopping. The street was bustling. Even if there was a rumor, it would not take long.
